Meaning of Life:
Oh, dear me, how unspeakably funny and owlishly idiotic and grotesque was that 'plagiarism' farce! As if there was much of anything in any human utterance, oral or written, except plagiarism! The kernal, the soul let us go further and say the substance, the bulk, the actual and valuable material of all human utterances' is plagiarism. For substantially all ideas are second-hand, consciously and unconsciously drawn from a million outside sources, and daily used by the garnerer with a pride and satisfaction born of the superstition that he originated them; whereas there is not a rag of originality about them anywhere except the little discoloration they get from his mental and moral calibre and his temperament, and which is revealed in characteristics of phrasing. When a great orator makes a great speech you are listening to ten centuries and ten thousand men but we call it his speech, and really some exceedingly smail portion of it is his. But not enough to signify. It is merely a Waterloo. It is Wellington's battle, in some degree, and we call it his; but there are others that contributed. It takes a thousand men to invent a telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or a photograph, or a telephone or any other important thingand the last man gets the credit and we forget the others. He added his little mite that is all he did. These object lessons should teach us that ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms, pure and simple; and the lesson ought to make us modest. But nothing can do that. - Mark Twain

Took me some time to find the humor in the horror,but when i did i thought it was very funny in a horrific sort of way. (Not to worry about no wall post - you can never really know what it means when a Model post to your wall, and the only members that post to other member's walls are drunk,or have no life of their own, and sometimes both. Bahahaha!)
